Palm Royale Main Title

Editorial Director/Box Office Editor

One of the liveliest, most buoyant scores of this Emmy season belongs to Kristen Wiig’s comedy series Palm Royale on Apple TV+, a full-on homage to the swinging soundtracks of the ‘60s, inspired by the Latin jazz of Henry Mancini (which, incidentally, is where the show is set). The most immediate reference that comes to mind is Mancini’s stirring score for the 1963 Audrey Hepburn film Charade.

Coincidentally, Palm Royale composer Jeff Toyne has a Mancini connection, which he discusses on today's Crew Call.
